Dear Client,
Don't get confused between Lokayukta courts and LOK Adalat courts.Lokayukta court deal exclusively with filing cases before lokayukta against a corrupt public servant.Whereas LOk Adalat means informal court systems where matters are settled between parties outside the normal courts and lok adalat decree is equivalent to a civil court decree under Order 21 of CPC and binding on parties which can be disposed off within 1/2 an hour. You can also file your case in District court which requires at least 3 years time to get disposed off.For Lok Adalat also either the district court in a case filed before it may DIRECT IT TO BE POSTED Before LOK Adalat suo motu or the parties should apply in district court for posting the matter before the lok Adalat attached to every District Court so as to settle their dispute amicably and finally with binding effect and and within a short time of 1/2 an hour.Your litigation expenses also are minimal if you choose Lok Adalat.

I differ with expert Ms. Usha Kapoor, the Lok adalat is a regular district court concept, wherein, cases are transferred to the Court and the litigating parties are convinced/ counselled /mediated by the Court to settle the dispute on agreed terms subsequently same is passed/ordered as a Court decree, which is "non-appealable" .
I agree the Lokayukta deal with "corrupt" public servants corruption cases.
